COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

The news of Selma’s gender reveal has travelled far and wide in my family. It’s gone from Scotland to the Isle of Wight, then to Gibraltar!

My grandparents must of spread it around.

So did he do the dirty deed in front of your grandpa and grandma? That's hilarious...

Good evenooning everyone.

We got to our final destination, Uzès (pronounced Ooz-Ezz), about 11am. We meandered round the town and the market, had lunch and then went to the supermarket before being let into our property. It’s 34C/94F and we were grateful for the pool once we had unloaded the car.

This is the Duché (pronounced Dooshay) ... the official residence of the Duke of Uzès until they cut his head off in the French Revolution in the late 1700s

What a lovely place!
I'm sure you'll have a very relaxing time there.
Weather still pretty wild here, lots and lots of much needed rain but I didn't sleep much last night with the strong winds battering the house.
Should ease a bit by the morning.

Good afternoon/evening all hope you are having a lovely day.

Having an awesome day! Tennis for 2 hours to start the morning, washed the Chow Chow, and went to the pet consignment shop- scores a Kane Heat Mat 18x18 for $25! Then off to Mekong for awesome dinner!

They found it funny. Luckily they are very humorous grandparents

My grandma phoned up the whole family to tell them. The torts are famous in my family.

I'm still laughing about the day Saphire announced..." It's a boy!" 12 years later.

That IS a problem. My tortoise partner cleans them for me when he visits, but that isn't often enough. It costs $40 to have it done and I haven't felt I could afford that. Once I cancel cable I'll have a few extra bucks a month. I used to do it myself, but I don't feel safe anymore on the roof.

Don't get on the roof...I'm like the pot calling the kettle black with that statement. I won't get on a ladder anymore. I'm sick of injuries I live through. The work is still there injury or no...

I used to put up a “Few” Christmas lights. I stopped when I learned there is a hospital ER code for falling off a ladder putting up Christmas lights! [emoji23]

I live on a busy street out in the country. Traffic is supposed to go 65mph, but most drive faster. That sends a lot of dust onto my panels and they really should be cleaned weekly. I can hose them off from the ground, but they really need to be brushed to get the dirt off. I have a nice long handled brush that I use, but I just don't feel safe up there anymore.

At the peak of almost 70,000 lights it was $187 extra a month. That was when led lights were in there infancy. Now 10,000 led lights costs like $3 extra in a month not to mention the lack of chords and circuits! Adding a second 200 AMP panel put stop to that!
